Pirates of the Caribbean 1Pirates of the Caribbean 2Pirates of the Caribbean 3

Girl gets kidnapped by pirates, boy goes to her rescue.

This is what I call a great pirate movie.
Great special effects and fun pirate adventure.

The first movie of the three is by far the best (The Curse of the Black Pearl). The first is suitable for supervised family viewing (undead skeletons, and people do die). The second two get a bit more violent and confusing (but are fun nonetheless).

The three movies are:

Pirates of the Caribbean – The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End (2007)

Years: 2003, 2006, 2007

Mamma MiaFun scenes with fun music.
Even if you don’t like Abba songs usually, you may like them here as the scenery, comedy, and actors make them come alive.

If you are a fan of Abba, you should definitely see it, even if these voices aren’t as good.

Fun in the sun in the Greek isles.
